Gates, who co-founded Microsoft in 1975, has decided that it’s time to step out of the chief software architect role so that he can spend more time and […]

The Xbox 360 commercial “Jump Rope” has won the ADDY Best of Show National award (think Academy Awards of the advertising world).
Behold the ad:
